Where To Begin?

[Beetow]

FAQ: I'm thinking of reading the Bible; where should I start?

REPLY: The Bible can be a tedious chore for people new to it; so I highly
recommend that newbies skip the heavy books for now and begin with the short
stories of Ruth, Esther, and Jonah; and then for sure the philosophical book of
Ecclesiastes. You gotta love Solomon's pessimistic world view: it's spot on.

* When my teen-age son first started reading the Bible, he became discouraged.
When I asked him what the matter was, he said he couldn't figure out the hidden
messages. So I told him: Son, forget about hidden messages. Just read the Bible
like a novel or an encyclopedia and you'll get more out of it that way; and he did.

FAQ: Which version would be best for me?

REPLY: Do yourself a kindness by using a Bible that reads very close to our own
modern way of speaking. Rickety old antiques like the Douay-Rheims, the
Confraternity, the American Standard Version, and the King James version are no
longer practical because their language and grammar are obsolete.

For English-speaking newbies I suggest contemporary versions in common use like
the New International (NIV), New American Bible (NAB), the New American
Standard (NAS) the English Standard Version (ESV) and/or the New Living
Translation (NLT)

FAQ: Where can I find a Bible?

REPLY: Just about any book store carries a selection of Bibles, and even some
department stores; and of course Christian book stores. Amazon dot com has them
too. If you're on a limited budget, you might try shopping for Bibles in a thrift store
like Good Will and/or Salvation Army.

* No matter whose version of the Bible you choose, somebody will eventually come
along and insist it's no good so be ready for that.

Do it right the 1st. Time, we do not start to learn how to read 1st. by starting with The letter "P" we begin with the Letter "A" and when we read a novel we do not begin with Chapter 11, and skip all over the place, then go to chapter 5 and then 14 and then to chapter 1.

The Bible is One Book with a collection of Letters and Books in a orderly Form and in a Historical order by years and dates from The beginning to The end.

Like my Mother taught me 'Chris" do it right the 1st. time and do it right! from the time I could crawl I was turning pages in the Family Bible and viewing The Pages of "The Michelangelo's" before I could walk, and tell you about Jesus before I made to kindergarten and only went a 1/2 of the year and went on to a "Special Advance class they called "Reading and Readiness" for the family Bible was the One that Advance me because of The pages of The Family bible that was available for me to put my hands on, even before I could walk! and I Could tell you about John the baptist and Jesus before I put a foot in church Sunday school class door and I got baptize about eight and I told my Parents I was getting baptize, I wanted to Join the church because Wanted to sing in The children's choir.and I still have that same baptizing certificate with a real Gold sealed on it real gold! And I was quoting Large quotes of text scripture beginning at eight for Easter speeches and Christmas speeches which are quotes from the Bible before hundreds of People. and we made it sound like sweet Poetry coming from our little lips.

And My oldest daughter was about 6 years old, and she was talking to an old man and I ask her what was she doing and to leave that man along, She told me "Daddy" I am telling Him about Jesus! a six year old Child telling a old man about Jesus ! believe me I do know what I am doing,


You start from The "ALPHA and you travel down through the centuries heading for The Omega" and the Lord will show you "The Salvation Story"
